Proverbs 4
—————-
It is wise to prioritize getting God’s Hesed Wisdom.
““The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].” (PROVERBS 4:7 AMP)
As believers, our lives will getting better and better. You have a bright future ahead of you!
“But the path of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day.” (PROVERBS 4:18 AMP)
The secret to receiving God’s healing is to meditate on His word. God’s word has healing power in it.
“My son, pay attention to my words and be willing to learn; Open your ears to my sayings. Do not let them escape from your sight; Keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, And healing and health to all their flesh.” (PROVERBS 4:20-22 AMP)
Prioritize monitoring your heart and its thoughts, beliefs and emotions.
Everything that you see in your life first began with what was in your heart.
“Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life.” (PROVERBS 4:23 AMP)
Proverbs 5
—————
This is how sin is like: It may seem pleasurable at first, but when the consequences of it come, it will be terrible and painful for you.
“My son, be attentive to my wisdom [godly wisdom learned by costly experience], Incline your ear to my understanding; That you may exercise discrimination and discretion (good judgment), And your lips may reserve knowledge and answer wisely [to temptation]. For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey [like a honeycomb] And her speech is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter like [the extract of] wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.” (PROVERBS 5:1-4 AMP)
Steer clear of even places of temptation. Never think that you are strong or spiritual enough to resist the temptation by your flesh. That is the sin of foolish pride.
“Let your way [in life] be far from her, And do not go near the door of her house [avoid even being near the places of temptation],” (PROVERBS 5:8 AMP)
The consequences of a lifestyle of sin is that your wealth and health gets depleted.
“And strangers will be filled with your strength And your hard-earned wealth will go to the house of a foreigner [who does not know God]; And you will groan when your life is ending, When your flesh and your body are consumed; And you say, “How I hated instruction and discipline, And my heart despised correction and reproof!” (PROVERBS 5:10-12 AMP)
There is blessing in store when you are devoted in marriage.
God will supply you with the love, passion and attraction for your spouse when you choose to be a loyal spouse.
“Let your fountain (wife) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her be as a loving hind and graceful doe, Let her breasts refresh and satisfy you at all times; Always be exhilarated and delight in her love.” (PROVERBS 5:18-19 AMP)
